Not Included
Antsirabe
Located not far from the Malagasy capital at over 1,400 meters altitude, Antsirabe can be quite cold during the austral winter. This former thermal town has retained its picturesque colonial charm and remains peaceful and relaxed. You can enjoy cycling or horseback excursions in Vakinankatatra. The city is also famous for its beautifully decorated rickshaws. Ideal for hikers, Lake Tritriva and Mount Ibity are excellent destinations.
Masiakampy
Masiakampy is a quiet fishing village on the banks of the Tsiribihina River, with fewer than 200 inhabitants. It is an ideal spot to enjoy sunset views, located about 40 km south of Miandrivazo.
Belo-sur-Tsiribihina
Belo-sur-Tsiribihina is a large village located in the Tsiribihina delta. It preserves relics of the great Sakalava kings of Menabe. It is the arrival point for river descents and a mandatory passage for travelers heading to the Tsingy of Bemaraha, whether arriving by river or by track from Morondava.
Bekopaka
A small town in western Madagascar, Bekopaka is accessible only during the dry season, from approximately May to November. Visitors come to explore the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hotels are located outside the village center, and despite its quiet appearance, Bekopaka becomes lively during peak tourist season, especially from July to October.
Morondava
Capital of the Menabe region, Morondava lies on the delta of the river of the same name. The city has long battled the sea, reclaiming nearly 2 km of cultivated plains at a place known as La Passe Bethania over the past century and a half. Morondava is also the gateway to the iconic Avenue of the Baobabs, located less than 19 km from the city center.
